MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850 D — 16.5 mm HSS‑Co, 8 flutes

The MAYKESTAG slot cutter is a DIN 850 D, Type N milling tool designed for slotting and peripheral milling in construction, case‑hardened and quenched‑alloy steels as well as short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals

• HSS‑Co for high wear resistance
• 8‑flute design for smooth chip evacuation
• 16.5 mm diameter for standard slot widths
• Cylindrical shank with drive flat for secure clamping

Precise material choice for longer tool life and consistent results

Made from HSS‑Co, this cutting tool combines the toughness of high‑speed steel with cobalt alloying to improve heat resistance and edge retention. The DIN 850 D specification and Type N geometry ensure a predictable performance profile when machining tougher steels. The eight cutting edges allow the load per edge to be reduced, which in turn contributes to more uniform wear and extended service intervals. As a result, shops benefit from fewer tool changes and steadier part quality, making the cutter a pragmatic option where repeatability matters.

Secure clamping and runout control for dependable production

The tool’s 10 mm shank and cylindrical shank with drive flat provide reliable seating in standard collets and holders, reducing slippage under load. With an overall length of 56 mm and an 8 mm cutting length, the design balances accessibility with stiffness to keep vibrations low during slotting operations. The right‑hand cut orientation matches conventional machining setups and simplifies toolpath programming. Together, these attributes support accurate slot dimensions and surface finish, reducing the need for rework and helping maintain production throughput.

Application range explained for practical decision making

This cutter is intended specifically for milling of construction steels, case‑hardened steels and quenched alloy steels, plus short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals as noted in the technical description. The 8‑flute architecture promotes compact chip formation when used on materials that produce short chips, aiding evacuation and lowering the risk of built‑up edge. For operators less familiar with DIN classes, the combination of HSS‑Co and the DIN 850 D Type N designation signals a robust general‑purpose cutter for demanding workshop tasks rather than a fine finishing tool.

Predictable performance in everyday engineering workflows

In routine production, the cutter’s geometry and material blend deliver a balance between cutting action and durability. The 16.5 mm working diameter is suited to common slot widths, and the 8 mm cutting length is sufficient for many standard slotting depths without compromising stiffness. Where process stability and tool life are priorities, the tool represents a technical and economical choice that supports continuous operation. Its standard dimensions and adherence to DIN specifications also ease tool selection and replacement across multiple machines and fixtures.

FAQ

What materials is this cutter suitable for?
The MAYKESTAG slot cutter (SKU 4117802230NW) is specified for milling construction steels, case‑hardened steels, quenched‑alloy steels and short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals.

What are the shank and clamping requirements?
The tool has a 10 mm cylindrical shank with a drive flat; the MAYKESTAG slot cutter is intended for standard ER collets or compatible holders that accept a 10 mm shank.

How does the 8‑flute design affect machining?
An 8‑flute layout reduces chip load per edge and promotes compact chips in short‑chipping materials, improving surface finish and extending edge life when using the MAYKESTAG cutter.

Is this cutter right‑hand or left‑hand?
This slot cutter is right‑hand cut, matching common spindle rotation and feed directions in standard milling operations.
